Day 3 of the 30 Day Challenge, Prunus

Day 3. Prunus spinosa collected during a lovely trip to Norfolk last week,  August 28th. Managed to paint a tiny piece today. Would have liked to have done a more of the branch but at least I managed a mini study as part of the challenge....not the easiest thing to paint in a hurry because of the bloom.

From walk along  the river Waveney, bursting with berries....I like this place!
                           
Colours: Fruit: Indanth blue + perm magenta
For the shade areas + neutral tint
add small amount of raw umber on the slightly green / brown areas.
Chinese white used for the bloom mixed with small amount of cobalt blue in the more blue areas.
